Winsor & Newton Galeria Brushes

These strong, resilient brushes were specifically designed for use with acrylic paints. They are particularly matched to the Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic line. Their unique mix of synthetic filaments provides perfect control for thicker application of color while still retaining their shape.

The short-handled brushes have a softer head for glazing or watercolor-style painting with soft body acrylics, while the long-handled styles are made from stiffer filaments, allowing thicker application on tougher surfaces.

Bright and Flat — A Bright is a short flat brush that absorbs less color and has a stiffer stroke. A Flat is longer than a Bright and is consequently more flexible at the tip.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Long and Short Handles — Long handles are recommended for easel style painting, while short handles are recommended for table-top painting where the artwork lies flat, especially with water media.

I like firm brushes- even when working in watercolor- and these are great. They hold their shape nicely, and make detail/line work so much easier than using a softer brush. I tend to be heavy with my brushes (a delicate touch, I am not...) and these Galeria's are holding up nicely. The only issue I have is a slight fraying at the very tip of the brush after several uses, even after using brush cleaner and conditioner after every use. We'll see how they hold up over the long run. But for now, these are my go-to brushes.

I really like the value to quality of this line of paint brushes. DB prices were the best, I shopped around to get the best price. I like the firmness of the bristle, the snap, not loose or too softness of the bristle. The handles are long enough, good balance. I am happy with them, I have used them about 2 weeks now, and am going to purchase more in this line.

These are my absolute favorite brushes to use with my oil paints, even though they are technically for acrylic. They are soft but also have a good bounce to them, and they are a really good deal for the quality. Overall, a really good brush for the money.
